How to quickly and easy get vehicles into ArmA3

[granQ 293]

A Patgb 203 on patrol (200 kb)

So, many of you probably have some vehicles you want to import into arma3.

There is so much new things, mirrors, physx, new rvmats stuff and probably you had some rvmat linking to ca\data\env_land.co or who knows.

Anyway, this is not to bring vehicles into arma3 all features or quality but to get vehicles ingame that function as.. vehicles. Cause the Alpha needs more transports and you want to enjoy your models before everything is figured out.

So here is a quick solution.

#define true 1

#define false 0

enum {

DESTRUCTENGINE = 2,

DESTRUCTDEFAULT = 6,

DESTRUCTWRECK = 7,

DESTRUCTTREE = 3,

DESTRUCTTENT = 4,

STABILIZEDINAXISX = 1,

STABILIZEDINAXESXYZ = 4,

STABILIZEDINAXISY = 2,

STABILIZEDINAXESBOTH = 3,

DESTRUCTNO = 0,

STABILIZEDINAXESNONE = 0,

DESTRUCTMAN = 5,

DESTRUCTBUILDING = 1,

};

class CfgPatches {

class sfp_patgb203 {

units[] = {};

weapons[] = {};

requiredVersion = 0.1;

requiredAddons[] = {"A3_Soft_F"};

};

};

class DefaultEventhandlers; // External class reference

class CfgVehicles {

class Car_F;

class O_Galkin_MG_F;

class sfp_patgb203 : O_Galkin_MG_F

{

model="\sfp_ptgb203\sfp_patgb_203.p3d";

textSingular = "Patgb 203";

displayname="Patgb 203";

simulation="car";

hiddenselections[] = {"camo1"};

hiddenSelectionsTextures[] = {"\sfp_ptgb203\data\patgb203_main_co.paa"};

};

};

Quick and easy.. for the record, simulation="car"; means it use same simulation as in arma2, while carx is with physx.

Hope its useful for some otherwise for adding Physx..

hi, where can i find this vehicule to download ?

[granQ 293]

can't, this is to help people to do their own addons.

So, if I understand correctly, we cannot add some specific LODs in Oxigen 2 Personal Edition for Arma 2 needed for giving Physx properties, so unless we get a new Oxygen 2 version no Physx for the moment. at least not for ships.

If we follow the VSB2 manual, for ships we must add a displacement LOD, which, for the moment, it is not available in the Oxygen 2 version we have now

so do you put this code into a sqf and throw it into addons?

nope, the config of the addons (which you of course have asked permission from their original creators to import to A3)

ah ok (of course).

Thanks! You'd think after 10 years I'd know my way around a config by now. :o
